163. God Fills the Soul That It May Pour

1 God fills the soul that it may pour
The fulness on another heart;
Not that the filled with good may store
The good God giveth to impart.

2 God fills the sails with heav’nly breath
That we may trade to other shores;
Speed from the calms of sloth and death,
And carry far the heavn’ly stores.

3 God fills us with the finest wheat,
That, strengthen’d in the inner man,
We may attempt some noble feat,
The starv’d and hungry never can.

4 He fills us that our souls may rise
Above the lower earthly things;
Mount upward to the cloudless skies,
Arising as on eagles’ wings.

5 Hast thou this filling? Give thy store!
Speed onward! hoist thy every sail!
Made strong, put forth thy strength the more,
Rise high above earth’s misty vale.
